Samsung’s tablets automatically keep checking for new software updates. It means that once the company makes it available for your Galaxy Tab A9+, the device will notify you about it. However, sometimes, it might now alert you about it. Therefore, it is always a good idea to manually check for the update. You can do that by going to Settings » Software update » Download and install.

If you still don’t see an update and you don’t want to wait anymore, you can head to our firmware section, download the new firmware, install Odin on a Windows PC, and, using the software, install the update on your Galaxy Tab A9+.
